Beijing Xiangshan Forum
The Beijing Xiangshan Forum, formerly known as the Xiangshan Forum, was launched by the China Association of Military Sciences (CAMS) in 2006 as a "track 2" platform for Asia-Pacific security dialog. It was upgraded to the "track 1.5" status as of the Fifth Forum in 2014 with a wider spectrum of participants, including defense and military leaders, representatives of international organizations, former government officials, retired senior officers, and renowned academics from within the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
Since the Sixth Forum in 2015, it has been co-hosted by the CAMS and the China Institute of International Strategic Studies (CIISS), and was renamed the Beijing Xiangshan Forum at its Eighth Forum in 2018. It has developed into an important platform for international dialog on security and defense issues, attracting global attention.
Bearing in mind the importance of openness, inclusiveness, mutual learning and cooperation, the Forum is committed to serving as a platform for exchanging ideas, expanding consensus, building mutual trust, and bolstering regional security. It benefits all through dialog on the basis of equality with a focus on new global and regional security trends, new opportunities and new challenges.
The Ninth Forum was convened at the Beijing International Convention Center from October 20 to 22, 2019, with the attendance of more than 1,300 people, including 76 official delegations, 23 defense ministers, six chiefs of staff and representatives of eight international organizations, as well as academics and observers from different countries, and a wide range of topics discussed on the theme of "Maintaining International Order and Promoting Peace in the Asia-Pacific."
北京香山論壇
北京香山論壇原稱香山論壇，于2006年由中國軍事科學學會發起，初為亞太地區安全“二軌”對話平臺。論壇從2014年第5屆起升級為“一軌半”，層級規模大幅提升，與會人員擴展為亞太地區和域外相關國家的國防部或軍隊領導人、國際組織代表、前軍政要員及知名學者。自2015年第6屆起，香山論壇由中國軍事科學學會和中國國際戰略學會共同主辦。2018年第8屆，更名為北京香山論壇。目前，北京香山論壇已發展成為具有重要國際影響力、開展國際安全和防務對話的重要平臺。
論壇堅持開放、包容、互鑒、合作的理念，聚焦亞太地區乃至全球安全新形勢、新機遇、新挑戰，倡導平等對話、互利合作、共同安全，致力于集聚智慧、擴大共識、增進互信，為增強安全對話與防務聯系、促進地區和平穩定發揮積極作用。
